I know, I''ve made like a dozen threads in the past week, but with my best friend and mom being out of town, I have no one else to turn to. Plus, I think only fellow PSers would understand.
Okay, right now I have a gorgeous AGS000 .85 ct (or .83 I can''t remember exactly) I/SI 1 (maybe 2). Wow, I can''t even remeber my diamond specs, how awful is that? Anyway, I absolutely adore my diamond, but I''ve always wanted a 1.5-1.75 ct. Its just my dream size, but he couldn''t afford that at the time and that was fine and he''s also completely fine with me upgrading when we can afford it. I hadn''t really given it any thought until I thought about my wedding band.
I have this setting and I was planning on getting the matching w-ring. Then, I happened to look at my setting again and realized it can only fit up to a 1.2 ct. I took it to my jeweler to ask his opinion if it''d be possible to fit a 1.5 ct and he said it couldn''t, at least not without a lot of work and possibly damaging the setting.
So, now I have a dillemma. When I eventually upgrade, I wanted to keep my same setting and w-ring and just trade up to a bigger diamond. I really, really want to keep the same wedding band forever, it just has a lot of sentimentality to me. Aside from the setting I currently have, my dream ring is a 1.5 ct. H&A in a semi eternity shared prong setting with a matching wedding ring. So, here''s my problem: do I buy a w-ring to match what I will get someday or spend the $500 on the wedding ring to match this setting that I will probably have only a few years and replace everything when I upgrade?
I told my FI my concerns and he told me to get whatever ring I want. The only problem is, if I get a custom semi-eternity from WF like I really want, it will cost more than twice the other ring which will make me feel super guilty, especially since my FI is about to change jobs (with a paycut) and with all the other wedding expenses.
What should I do???
